Often, circulated Trade dollars are found with various Asian merchant marks, which are colloquially referred to as "chop marks" by many in the coin realm.

IN GOD WE TRUST us carved into the base and her seat is otherwise adorned with a bundle of wheat. 13 stars adorn the periphery with the date at the lower middle. Type I obverse features ends of scroll pointing left; extended hand has three fingers.
